The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) closed the entrance to the country to Russian filmmakers Nikita Mikhalkov and Stanislav Govorukhin. This Wednesday, May 31, reported on the Facebook page of the public movement "Vіdіch". "Victory! We have secured from the SBU a ban on entry to such "star" artists-rascists as Nikita Mikhalkov, Stanislav Govorukhin, Nadezhda Babkina, Mikhail Zadornov, Irina Alferova, Alexei Panin, Leonid Yarmolnik, "reads the publication. It is noted that the special service appealed to the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. It should bring the artists to the list of persons threatening national security.

According to the authors of the post, the entire social movement has submitted more than 600 applications to the SBU, but in most cases violations by Russian artists have not been revealed. "It seems that the protection of the Ukrainian information space from odious Russian artists worries the public more than the SBU," reads the publication. Kiev blacklisted Russian artists supporting the reunification of the Crimea with Russia or criticizing the current Ukrainian government.
